Why Have Been in MIA

Hi, friends who reads my blog. It has been so long since I posted here. I had talked about essential oils last time. I hope everyone is taking advantage of them because traditional medicines have severe side effects. I also am now learning photography on my new phone. 

Me With College

I have been enrolled in college since October 2022. It has been rough to blog and goes to school at the same time because of how many credit hours I want to transfer. I want to graduate college early to start paying my student loan debt. But I will need to get certification in the IT field to get my college major classes out of the way. Well not all of them since I can only transfer 126 credit hours. After that I will be closer to 180 credits. 

Me with Photography

Well I have an iPhone 12 now so I have something better to take photos. I also have more photography apps. Some are cameras, some are editors. I have been liking the Camera+ app the most because they have more editing tools to use for your photos. I do use VSCO since I like using filters on my photos. 

Well, I really enjoy these apps and would be looking forward to having photography to generate income. I have not been putting things on sale for Redbubble since of the camera quality from my old cell phone.

Essential Oils

I have still been using Young Living Essential Oils. My favorite products are toothpaste, roll-ons, and chapstick, and now want to try their deodorants. Still you can enroll from me and help me earn commissions for the brand partner program. 

Well I am looking forward to blogging more. I may think I will get my college education done sooner. 

My three most Love Used Essential Oils

 Your sense of smell enables you to experience your surroundings in a powerful way. Essential oils are used to stimulate the sense of smell through aromatherapy. They can also be mixed with carrier oils and used directly on the skin or hair.

Distilled from the leaves, flowers, and seeds of plants, there are so many kinds of essential oils. To help you sift through the essential oil shelf, we rounded up a list of oils, along with specific recommendations.

While research suggests there are health benefits, the FDA doesn’t monitor or regulate the purity or quality of essential oils. It’s important to talk with a healthcare professional before you begin using essential oils and be sure to research the quality of a brand’s products. Always do a patch test before trying a new essential oil.

How we chose our top essential oils

There’s research: The essential oils on this list were chosen because they have proven benefits and are popular with many people. It’s important to keep in mind that overall, research on essential oils is limited. More research is needed to understand exactly how essential oils may help with common ailments.

The manufacturer matters: Each one comes from a trusted manufacturer that’s transparent about oil extraction methods and plant sources.

It’s clear how it was made: With exception of the jasmine extract, the essential oils on this list are manufactured by cold pressing or steam distillation.

It’s good for general use: They’re all considered appropriate for fragrance and aromatherapy uses and get excellent customer reviews.

It’s available in many sizes. Since Eden Botanicals offers their oils in a range of volumes — from sample to 16-ounce bottles and larger — there’s also a wide range of price points, which makes it more flexible for your budget.

Best Essential Oils

Best for digestive issues

Peppermint Essential Oil

Best for: IBS and other GI conditions, headaches

Pros: energizing, cooling, fresh

Cons: not safe for people with G6PD deficiency, people taking certain medications, babies, children, or pets

In addition to having a delightful scent that many people associate with winter holidays, peppermint oil has health benefits for athletic performance and can improve irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms. It’s also a choice for some looking to ease headaches.

The peppermint essential oil is sourced from the peppermint plant, Mentha x piperita, in the Pacific Northwest and acquired via steam distillation.

This oil by Eden Botanicals uses a steam distilling process (like many of the brand’s essential oils) and is sourced from the plant’s leaves. The brand also points out that instead of offering a peppermint-candy-like sweet profile, this oil has a grass-like undertone. The company says the scent is distinct but still fresh and cooling.

Best for sleep

Lavender essential oil

Best for: stress relief, help with sleep

Pros: calming, can use as massage oil (when mixed with a carrier oil)

Cons: may cause an allergic reaction for some; unclear if it’s safe for pregnant or breastfeeding people

Lavender essential oil provides a soothing and relaxing scent. It’s often used in aromatherapy to relieve stress. Lavender oil also makes an excellent massage oil when mixed with a carrier oil. Lavender is also a good choice for people looking to improve sleep.

An older systematic review looked at 15 studies to see essential oil’s effect on sleep. The results showed that inhaling essential oils like lavender can be one consideration for people with mild sleep issues.

This essential oil is made from certified organically grown lavender and imported from France. It’s steam distilled.

Best for germ-fighting

Tea tree oil

Best for: antibacterial and help for minor fungal infections

Pros: can be used to help dandruff, head lice, athlete’s foot

Cons: can irritate eyes, not pet-safe! Tea tree (melaleuca) oil is thought to have antibacterial and antifungal properties. It’s used in wound care, to eliminate head lice, and to control dandruff. Tea tree oil can be added to shampoos or used in diluted form on the skin for minor fungal infections, such as athlete’s foot.

It can be irritating to the eyes, so be careful if you use it in shampoo or as a lice treatment.

This tea tree oil is steam distilled from the leaves of Australian Melaleuca alternifolia trees. It’s said to have a warm, woody aroma.
